VISE ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,647, dated August 19, 1884.

Application filed April 2, 1884. (No model.)

To a whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, THEODORE E. KING, of \Vestport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vise Attachments; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exaetdescription thereof, whereby a person skilled in the art can make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Like letters ill the figures indicate the same parts. v

Figure 1 is a top view of my device as in use ill a vise. Fig. 2 is aside view of the same. Fig. 3is a view in vertical longitudinal section of the device removed from the vise. Fig. 4t is a detail view of the device as closed. Fig. 5 is a back view of one of the parts of my device.

My invention relates to the class of devices more especially adapted for use in connection with other mechanisms, which serve as a medium for applying the power required to operate my device.

My invention consists ill the combination of cutter-bearing blocks, mutually supported upon guides or pins common to both blocks, bearing cutter blades, and provided with springs which operate to keep the blocks apart at the outer limit of their play, and with means for temporarily supporting the same in a vise, as more particularly hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter (t denotes a block, preferably of metal, as iron, rectangular in outline, provided on one side,

which I will term the face, with a trans' verse socket, a, and with the backward-extending flange a", in continuation of the face.

Upon the inner side of the block, and projecting in a plane parallel to the fixed the guide-rods b c, which extend into sockets d e in the body of a similar block, f,

. which block has a socket, f, in its upper surface or face, and backward extending flange f Upon the guide-rods, between the blocks and thrusting against their inner sides,

face, are

are arranged the spiral springs h, which tend to keep the blocks apart. In the sockets in the face of these blocks are secured the removable cuttenblades M, which are preferably of steel, and have cutting-edges that project inward beyond the inner face of the blocks.

This device is particularly adapted for use projecting flanges resting upon the upper surface of the vise-jaws, and the rear of the the jaws 7c of the vise. By closing the jaws by the ordinary means common to vises, the cutting-blades are brought toward each other in such manner as to cut in two rods or bars of any material which may have been placed between the cutters.

connected by means of the guide-rods that the cutting-edges of the blades shall lie ill the same plane, so that as the blades are brought together in cutting they will cut properly.

I11 the form of my device as herein described and illustrated, the guide-rods b c are so adjusted as to length that'thcir ends,which move in the sockets d c,shall strike the face of the vise-jaw in time to prevent the edges of the l cutter-blades from coming ill contact when the blades are forced toward each other in cuttin It is not essential that this particular form of stop device should be used, as the same result may be gained by other devices-as by lugs projecting from the adjacent inner sides of the blocks, and so arranged as to strike the opposite surface ill time to prevent contact of the cutting-edges of the blades.

I claim as my invention 1. In combination, block a, having a.sllp porting-flange, a and removable cutter-blade i, blockf, having a supporting-flange, f and a removable blade, 2', guide-rods common to both blocks, springs whereby the blocks are held apart, and a stop-device, all substan tially as described.

2. In combination with a vise, cutter-bearin a vise, between the jaws of which it is placed, as illustrated in the drawings,,the

6o blocks pressing against the grasping-faces of These blocks are so.

ing' blocks with supporting-flanges and guiderods, and a sp held 3. As an imp 5 a cutting implement ring whereby the bloel zs are apart, all substantially as described.

roved article of manufacture,

consisting of a pair of blocks with supporting guide-rods, each block having a rearward extending shoulder or ing a removable cutter-blade,

flange and bear a spring whereby the blocks are held apart. and a stop device that limits the forward 10 movement of the blocks, all substantially as described.
